RonL21 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 First Take really had a whole segment on why kids shouldn't be at the post game presser and Steph had to answer questions about his daughter today. God forbid you missed the quote on both teams playing hard and who gave 110% because a kid is there. Ric Bucher tweeted Steph was a bad parent and his kid was a menace. Then he followed with the "can't you read sarcasm " response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So let me get this right it wasn't but a year or two ago when it was 'so cute nba players bring there kids to pressers' now its 'omg why are they bring there kids to presers'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm trying to remember any memorable non-kid-related post-game press conferences. So far all I have is Iverson's 'practice' rant and Scalabrine going in after the Celtics won the title. I'm pretty sure that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 "Both teams played hard" was in a presser, so it's on the list. If we're opening it up to non-NBA, then the Super Bowl press conference that got interrupted by a 9/11 truther is my G.O.A.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think the Rockets can push it to six while I think the Hawks are looking at 5 games max. I see nothing out of them that would concern me if I'm Cleveland. Atlanta had an incredible regular season but I assume you subtract the learning period and the two week vacation and Cleveland would have probably been the one seed. Wow and now Carroll is hurt. It looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Those Lebron 24 second isolation plays are so painful to watch, especially when it doesn't work over and over again. Run something else; just to make the other see a different set play. It doesn't make sense, and the game was closer than it needed to be tonight. You have to win any game where JR Smith goes off like this one especially on the road. I wonder how longer they are going keep putting Kyrie out there. He had very little lift on his jumpers. Hawks lost Carroll. They need him for his defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Obviously it's a big win for the Cavs, but it'd be nice to win a game without it getting close after it'd been put away. The Cavs are like a football team that starts trying to run out the clock with 11 minutes left in the forth quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only made worse by Webber and Miller claiming that Millsap was at the disadvantage despite the fact that LeBron only scored on him once.

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I like how Korver throws his hands up, like the guy in rec league who screams at you "Who's guy was that??" and when you reply "Yours" they give you no answer or tell you to shut up.

The fact that he tried to act like he didn't make the proverbial, "Business Decision" is fucking hilarious to me.

JRGoldman Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Demarre Carroll's MRI showed no ligament damage and he is being listed day to day with a bone bruise. Dude has played his way in to a max contract with a terrible team after this year, I'm happy for him that his knee appears to be okay. I am unsure of his effectiveness moving forward in this series, but we shall see. I'll bet the Hawks get a big boost emotionally if he comes back tomorrow. I think that game will be their best punch. As a quick aside, over the years I have learned not to tempt fate by saying nice things about Cleveland sports teams, but I really have grown fond of this team and David Blatt. People are comparing the team right now to the Lebron centric ones from the previous era, but those teams were jelly roll soft. This team just works hard. It's ugly as sin sometimes, but it's somehow still efficient. Last night they had a higher offensive efficiency rating than Golden State did in their game one. In both the Boston series and Chicago series, the other teams points per 100 possession went down every game. They can adjust and are willing to try new tactics. Lebron has consistently held himself accountable after every game, good or bad. I don't think they will win a title this year, but I think it's going to be fun to watch them try to figure out how.

_MJ_ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 J.R. Smith: "I'd rather take a contested shot than an open shot any day ... It's kind of boring when you take open shots". I've read the stats back this up too. He's supposedly shooting a much higher percentage on contested shots than open in these playoffs. You can't explain JR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie M. Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I don't think I've seen a team that can go on a 'run' like Golden State since the peak Nash Suns. The difference being that the Warriors can defend. You look away for a few minutes and they've either erased a lead or blown a game wide open. It's incredible.
